After all, he or she took a picture of a (presumably) underage boy's penis and then distributed it.
Whomever is in charge of printing and handing out the programs and fliers should be prosecuted for distributing child pornography.

Firefox + Adblock + Greasemonkey + Anti-Adblock Killer = no more nonsense
It's my effing computer, and I get to control what displays.

PETA's goal is animal rights, not copyright maximalism
PETA is not seeking to extend copyright, they are attempt to extend animal rights.
PETA is a strange animal, if you'll excuse the language. Unlike, say, ASPCA, they are not really concerned about the welfare of animals; rather, they are concerned about whether animals should have legal rights.
I doubt PETA understands what copyright even is... They just want a monkey to "own" "intellectual property."
The focus of the article is clearly "ZOMG! More paranoid, crazy cops!" and the fact that his attitude is not shared by the rest of the police force is buried in the article.
